TL;DR: Mittelfristige Klimaprognose (MiKlip), an 8-yr German national research project on decadal climate prediction, is organized around a global prediction system comprising the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) together with an initialization procedure and a model evaluation system.

TL;DR: Large-scale diagnostics of the second major release of the ESMValTool tool, a community diagnostics and performance metrics tool designed to improve comprehensive and routine evaluation of Earth system models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), are described.

TL;DR: In this article, an image inpainting technique was proposed to reconstruct missing climate information and reduce uncertainties and biases in climate records, and the resulting global annual mean temperature time series exhibit high Pearson correlation coefficients (≥0.9941) and low root mean squared errors (≤0.0547) as compared with the original data.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved initialization was proposed for the Mittelfristige Klimaprognosen (MiKlip) project based on the Max-Planck-Institute Earth System Model and furthermore the effect of increased ocean and atmosphere model resolutions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the forecast skill of the fully coupled MPI-ESM initialized using only surface wind stress applied to the ocean component of the model (Modini: Model initialization by partially coupled spin-up).
